With about twenty minutes to wait before changing trains at Denmark Hill what better excuse to fill the time by stopping at NCB for breakfast? It’s a long counter and bar dividing a room between its entrances for Roy from the street and the upper station corridor. Those changing trains and visitors from outside alike are tempted by pastries, croissants and the widest range of juices, teas and strong coffees to ensure an invigorating start to the day. I was impressed by a warmed bacon and brie baguette which I consumed with an espresso watching the hustle and bustle outside before I was compelled to join it.
I found this gem of a bar/restaurant while visiting my father in the kings college hospital. At the weekend my husband would come with me and wait here while I had my one hour visit. The staff were extremely friendly and considerate. I would recommend a visit here if you need great surroundings, food, drink and service. Thank you to you all at the Phoenix what was a very difficult time and for me and keeping Neil lubricated.
I will be raving about the almond croissant I had here for a while! The large pastries were fresh and filling, a good selection of both sweet and savoury but not too much. Good coffee made to specific requests. The staff consisted of one friendly lady, it was 9am on a Sunday morning so it wasn't busy, she was very welcoming of the dog in fact the dog was probably more welcome that the humans
A really friendly cafe by the overground station with great drinks snacks plus lovely staff and a peaceful outdoor seating atmosphere. Worth making a special trip for. Their Chai latte is excellent and they have oat milk etc. Great muffins!

Popped here for a coffee one morning. We joined the queue outside the door and it moved really quick. The coffees were very good and the pastries looked amazing and fresh. This place must be a little gold mine
Impressed with the flakiness and delicious savory options of the croissants. Great place to sit before catching a train.
So happy that they are open after the lockdown friendly service and lovely coffee that I have missed so much. Thanks
This is one of the best coffee shops around. The coffee is really good and the mozzarella panini is delicious.
